1) So how did you start playing poker?
I started playing NLH with some friends in a bar 8 years ago. About 5 years ago I got introduced in online poker and became a Pokerchamps member. Last year during the take over by Betfair I automatically became a Betfair member.

2) How long have you been playing on Betfair and at what type of tables can you normally been found?
I've played on Betfair since October 2007. I play almost every day for (too) many hours :) I play only full ring games NLH and turbo / regular tourneys.

3) How did you qualify for the WSOP?
I qualified by playing a satelitte in the afternoon for $55. That night I won the 16K package in the Final.

4) Have you been to any live poker events before? Any success?
I not have yet played in any big poker events before. Sometimes I play in live in Dutch casinos. Last year I went to Vegas to play some live tourneys for fun and made two final tables.

5) Best online success?
About 90% of my online time I play cash games. My best online succes was winning the Daily 16K tourney and made a 4.8K profit.

6) What is your aim for Vegas and what would you do if you won?
My aim for Vegas is first of all to enjoy the experience. I hope that my full ring online experience will bring me through the first 3/4 days and from there we will see what happens. Of course, like every player, I hope to end up in the money. For me that would be a great honour. If I win I wouldnt change my lifestyle and make many people happy.
